Fast polymer integrated circuits
Abstract
Using soluble polymers for the active layer and insulating layer, we report on a concept for the fabrication of fast integrated circuits based on p-type organic transistors only. Ring oscillators with frequencies above 100 kHz and propagation stage delays below 0.7 μs are presented. They show a very stable performance over time even without encapsulation, when stored and measured under ambient conditions. Regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophen) is used as the active semiconducting layer, a polymer blend as the insulator, a flexible polyester film as the substrate and metal electrodes. To enable vertical interconnects, the insulating layer is patterned.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
